Well, I remember this was one of the key goals Mitch Kapor 
outlined for Python in his keynote at PyCon.  He blogged about it 
too:

So maybe this is a possibility in the context of the OSAF? It's 
probably a bit ahead of what the PSF can commit to, but a good 
example of what it might fund in the future as an ongoing effort
if it can't be sustained any other way.

If you (or somebody) is interested enough, I could try to ask 
around at OSAF and mention it to the PSF board too.

Just a thought...
